morphology

In a paper published January 2025, Reichgelt and collaborator Christopher West compared the shapes of fossil leaves of the Miocene gathered and analyzed in many previous studies with a dataset of modern leaf morphologies.

The high efficiency is the result of several years of intensive materials research and studies of the interaction between the molecules in the material, the so-called morphology.

Genes controlling morphology often respond to several independent enhancers, each determining the expression of the gene in a different body part.

After careful evaluation of the extensive data, the results are now available: they provide detailed information on changes in the morphology and structure of the material, but also on chemical processes during discharge.

Indeed, a crab-like body shape, or morphology, has evolved numerous times independently throughout evolutionary history.
